Hey Team,
Hope you had a great, restful weekend! We’re on the verge of a much needed break, so let’s enjoy the week and ease into vacation.
In the spirit of thanksgiving, I want to share my deepest thanks with all of you. I love coming to work because I get to spend my days with you–every day we laugh and even on our hardest days there is a sense of love and unwavering support. This is a special group of people, and I feel incredibly grateful that I get to be a part of it!
A few notes to get you going…
1) Jammie Jam is this Friday from 9:45–10:45 AM. K-2 will run the course from 9:45-10:15, 3-5 from 10:15(ish)-10:45. As in year’s past, we’ll have lots of parent support to set the event up and monitor the laps. This is also pajama day, consider what movie/program you might show. Please hold on to pledge sheets/envelopes for now, we’ll get them from you. Thanks!
2) Cafe Amity is hosted by Grade 2 this week. Gina will organize this with your Class Lead.
3) SIW this week is site based. Anna and Haley will present on our Continuum of Care, and Sara will lead us in our next book study conversation (please see her email from last week as a reminder). 1:00pm in Brian’s room.
4) Food Drive continues this week and goes until December 5. Please include in your weekly note for this week and the one after break. Thanks!
5) Virtual district wide meeting on Tuesday. Below is the communication we received–maybe we watch together?
Superintendent Steven Cook and Deputy Superintendent Lisa Birk will host an update for all District staff on Tuesday, November 18, with two 30-minute virtual sessions:
Session 1 – 3:05 – 3:35 p.m. (LINK to join Session 1)
Session 2 – 3:50 – 4:20 p.m. (LINK to join Session 2)
They will begin by recognizing several major accomplishments and celebrations from this school year. Other updates include:
- State and federal funding
- Long-term enrollment projections
- Facility updates
- Elementary and secondary priorities
They will provide the same update at the beginning of both meetings, then answer questions sent in from staff. Attendance is optional. If you can’t join either meeting live, we plan to share recordings with you afterward.
